Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for reducing noise couplings between propagation lines for size efficiency. In one embodiment, a memory device is provided, comprising a memory array and an input/output (I/O) circuit. The I/O circuit can include a first plurality of global data lines and a second plurality of global data lines. The second plurality of global data lines are directly interleaved between the first plurality of global date lines and are configured to shield the first plurality of global data lines. In some embodiments, the first plurality of global data lines are shorter in length than the second plurality of global data lines and are switched before the second plurality of global data lines are switched.
